A member asked:
Could medicare cover macular pucker surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Usually: If one has Medicare as insurance, macular pucker is usually a covered diagnosis, and surgery is considered medically necessary if the patient is symptomatic or has vision deterioration from the pucker. People are Medicare eligible at age 65 years, or with certain chronic illnesses.
